    Any doubts about Murtha?

    Actually if you knew anything about me you would know that I am not affiliated with either party. In fact I spent the majority of my life with siding with the republicans. However the last 4-5 years have pushed me away from that. My ending statement was not meant to bash anyone, I was simply...

    Any doubts about Murtha?

    Now that is a perfect example of what is wrong with our political system. You have people sitting by ready to cheer and celebrate when someone on the other team screws up. Nevermind what is actually good for our country. You'd rather watch our country fall into ruin, just so you can say your...

    Dennis Hastert announces he won't run for Minority Leader of the House.

    Why is everyone always giving Profjohn so much grief. I know I haven't been visiting P&N for very long, but John seems like a pretty nice guy. I may disagree with a lot of the things he says, but there's no need to resort to name calling. I can't recall ever seeing him doing that. If you don't...

    Think we will see actual governance now? I kinda forgot what it looked like

    First of all, I'm not a democrat. I have no party affiliation. In fact, although I voted with a lot of democrats yesterday, I also voted for a couple of republicans. I don't merely judge a candidate only on party affiliation. As for Bush, maybe his domestic policy is not "far right" as his...

    Think we will see actual governance now? I kinda forgot what it looked like

    Hehe, comments like that always make me laugh. After 9/11 the President and repubs had a united nation behind them. They had the support of a whole nation, and managed to screw it up every step of the way. I hope that now the dems will learn from their mistakes and actually start representing...

    Think we will see actual governance now? I kinda forgot what it looked like

    I hope that the dems will take this chance to do some good for our nation. Maybe they can put a fire under George W. and actually get something accomplished. I also hope this is a wake up call to "real" republicans, and that they start moving back towards the center. They have been steadily...

    Quiz for Liberal/Conservative Scale

    I got an 18, barely left of center.

    Seymour Hersh unloads on Bush and the neocons

    I love how everyone here tries to make it seem that our soldiers are infallible. They are human and make mistakes just like anyone else. A childhood friend of mine joined the army in 2000, he spent over 2 years in Iraq. When he came back, he was angry. He said that many soldiers over there are...

    Why are the posters on P&N so far to the left?

    I never said you were a bigot. You, just like anyone else, are entitled to your opinion. Guess we can agree to disagree. :)

    Why are the posters on P&N so far to the left?

    That is one of the most humorous statements I have seen in a while. Considering more than half of all heterosexuals that get married will also get divorced. Last I heard married people were actually approaching minority status in this country. So much for the sanctity of marriage, eh? This...

    Guide to Stealing an election

    I like that! I think something more like that would calm many worries of the current electronic systems. You should put in a call to the president and get this started. :)

    Why are the posters on P&N so far to the left?

    I consider myself more middle of the road, although in recent years I have been moving in a more left direction. Funny thing is I am 25, raised in a smallish southern town, right in the middle of the bible belt. I grew up in a hugely republican town. I did support republicans, for a time...

    New Jersey Supreme Court to announce ruling on Gay Marriage

    Awesome job New Jersey. Nice to see more states recognizing that homosexuals deserve the same rights and freedom of heterosexuals. I don't think it matters much if it ends up being called a marriage or a civil union. The institution of marriage is pretty much a joke now anyway. More than half of...

    Poll

    I can see where you are coming from and why you would vote that way. I suppose the real issue is that no single party seems to share all my beliefs. So for me it comes down to the individual, and what stance they take on the issues most important to me. The only thing I'll outright disagree...

    Election predictions: Senate and House

    I see the Dems taking the house. I think it's a toss up for senate. Whoever takes it, I don't think it will be a landslide by any stretch of the imagination.
